Title A name given to the resource Appraisal of Canterbury by Anne Brown (November 30th, 1945) Description An account of the resource This is the appraisal receipt of the Canterbury from a firm in NY. In 1934, Mrs. Brown discovered this music rack, called a Canterbury, for $30 at the Boat Yard Shop in Bristol, RI. Made of mahogany, and dated to England, 1810, the rack is described as a rectangular Canterbury with “fretted ends, fitted with four open partitions with inversely arched cross rails.” In 1945, Mrs. Brown had the Canterbury appraised for $250 in New York. The history of the Canterbury dates back to the eighteenth century, when Thomas Sheraton was the first to record the term “Canterbury” in his Cabinet Dictionary. He referred to it as two different pieces of furniture with one being a small music stand with divisions for holding loose sheet music. When sheet music became popular, due to new printing technologies, the Canterbury became an accessory to the piano, which was appearing in middle and upper class homes. It took on many styles of interior design, ranging from Georgian simplicity to Victorian exuberance and even to Chinese styles. The Browns used this Canterbury as a music stand, similar those in English homes during the 19th century.

The Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection is the foremost American collection of material devoted to the history and iconography of soldiers and soldiering, and is one of the world's largest collections devoted to the study of military and naval uniforms. It was formed over a period of forty years by the late Mrs. John Nicholas Brown (1906-1985) of Providence and is still growing. It contains approximately 14,000 printed books, 18,000 albums, sketchbooks, scrapbooks and portfolios, (containing thousands of prints and drawings), and over 15,000 individual prints, drawings and water-colors as well as a collection of 6,000 miniature lead soldiers. Formerly in the Brown family residence (the Nightingale-Brown House, 1791), the entire collection (which was probably the largest private military collection in the world), was presented to Brown University and transferred to Special Collections located in the John Hay Library in 1982.
